Ayubhowan!

I’m Sala.

An artist whose canvas is the body.
A yogi whose practice is life.

I curate and facilitate practices, rituals, retreats and gatherings that invite us back into sacred relationship with ourselves, with one another and with the living Earth.

As we embody this awareness, we begin to see ourselves not as separate from creation, but as the active ingredient of creation.

Welcome to Salasbananas.

Salasbananas is a participatory and reflective ecosystem for curious beings. A mindful space rooted in care, consent and belonging, where you are invited to be fully yourself.

A space for the artist, the visionary and the queer soul. For those of us once silenced and cast into the shadows because of our gifts. Here, we are heard. Beckoned to step into the light and shine, not as someone new, but as who we have always been.

This is not a world to observe from the outside.

It is an invitation to participate fully. To show up as all of you. To take up space as the creator you are.

Take a deep breath and enter through whichever doorway feels alive.

All roads lead you home to you.
